Blind man from Iowa bowls perfect game
ALTA, Iowa (AP) - A 78-year-old legally blind man from northwest Iowa has bowled a perfect game. Alta resident Dale Davis nailed 12 consecutive strikes and reached 300 on Saturday night during league play. Davis has limited peripheral vision but can't see straight ahead. Century Lanes owner Clem Ledoux says that Davis' game didn't draw much attention until he reached 10 strikes. That's when folks poured out of the bar to watch his final two shots. Ledoux said Davis threw a "Brooklyn," where a right-hander strikes the left side of the head pin, for his final strike. The feat brought wild cheers from Davis' fellow bowlers and onlookers. It's the first 300 Ledoux could recall at the alley since he took over in 1984.
NASCAR NOW For May 9th, 2008
- This weekend both the Sprint Cup Series and the Nationwide Series visit Darlington Raceway. The track dubbed "Too Tough to Tame," has recently undergone a $10 million facelift, the largest one-time investment in the storied 50-year history of the 1.366-mile raceway. Among the enhancements: a new racing surface; addition of SAFER barrier walls to the interior frontstretch and backstretch concrete walls and extending the length of each pit box by one foot. The addition of a new infield access tunnel in Turn 3 also provided emergency and safety vehicles easy access in and out of the infield area of the race track. Three veteran NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers -- Jeff Gordon, Greg Biffle and Ryan Newman -- participated in a pair of Goodyear tire tests in March at Darlington. Gordon is a seven-time winner at Darlington and Biffle has won twice there. He said of the changes, "The basic transitions, the banking and walls haven't changed. "The bumps are gone, the grip level is high and it's awesome; they did a great job."
- Richard Childress Racing's trio of drivers dominate this week's top five in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings. And, with RCR claiming eight wins at Darlington Raceway over the years, the outlook for that organization is looking up as the series travels to the track deemed "Too Tough to Tame" for the Dodge 500 this Saturday night. Clint Bowyer's win at Richmond International Raceway last week moved him up from seventh to fourth in the standings. Jeff Burton, the points leader for the previous four weeks, moved down a spot to second, while Kevin Harvick climbed a spot to fifth.
